R3: Born for the Track, Thrills Everywhere

Drawing inspiration from the formidable YZR-M1, the 2024 R3 is not just a bike; it’s an adrenaline-fueled beast waiting to be tamed. Its 321cc, liquid-cooled engine roars with 42 PS of power at 10,750rpm and 29.5 Nm of torque at 9,000rpm.

Lightweight, agile, and boasting a design that echoes Yamaha’s racing pedigree, the R3 is engineered to deliver an unmatched supersport experience.

MT-03: Hyper-Naked, Master of Torque

For those craving torque and agility, enter the 2024 MT-03, a true master of the hyper-naked family. Under the banner of “MTs that stimulate your Pride,” this beast flaunts an aggressive design, with twin-eye positioned lights that scream MT’s distinct identity. Packed with a 321cc powerhouse, it’s not just a bike; it’s a statement of raw power and style.

Both models feature a lightweight diamond frame chassis, ensuring optimum balance, neutral handling, and easy maneuverability. The combination of Upside-Down Front Forks, long swingarm, and mono-cross rear suspension guarantees a ride that oozes confidence, while the dual-channel ABS and powerful disc brakes provide safety without compromising on thrill.
